Day 14: Something New: I'm thankful for my new (to me) car, Maude. She's a red go-getter, and I feel safe and secure driving her. Bluetooth is awesome!
Day 15: Experience: I'm thankful for our honeymoon this summer. Andrew and I waited almost a year to go on our trip, and it was worth the wait. Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, and the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff and Lake Louise before flying home from Calgary was a spectacular trip, and we made so many wonderful memories.
Day 16: Recipe: I have lots of recipes I love, but I think I'm most grateful today for the pie crust recipe from Beth Howard's cookbook, Ms. American Pie: Buttery Good Recipes and Bold Tales from the American Gothic House. It was the first recipe I used to make pie, and it's the only one I've used. I've had such good feedback from it. When I took two pies to school this week for Support Staff Day for American Education week, I had lots of compliments and two requests for the recipe.
Day 17: Store: My favorite store is Target. I guess I'm thankful for having one only 25 minutes away for my entire life. I'll try not to cry big crocodile tears that it is closing, and now I'll have no reason to go to Ottumwa except to watch a movie. Why are you leaving me, Target, oh WHY???
Day 18: Quote: Wow. I have a lot of favorite quotes. I guess I'll choose one unknown to the world but special to me. Before I'd embark on an adventure, whether it was on stage or in the classroom or out in the world, my mom would tell me, "Go get 'em, Babe. It's showtime." I say it to myself now, and I hear her voice saying it my head. It gives me strength and helps me when I'm feeling nervous.
